Cam Belts & Replacement: Keeping Your Engine in Top Condition

The cam belt (or timing belt) is a crucial component of your engine, ensuring the precise coordination of the crankshaft and camshaft. A worn or broken cam belt can cause severe engine damage, making timely replacement essential for your vehicle’s performance and longevity.

​

What Does a Cam Belt Do?

The cam belt synchronizes the engine’s valves with the movement of the pistons. If the belt fails, it can lead to misfiring, loss of power, or even catastrophic engine failure.

​

Signs Your Cam Belt Needs Replacing

• Ticking or Clicking Noise – A worn cam belt may produce unusual noises from the engine.

• Engine Misfires – A slipping belt can affect timing, causing misfires.

• Difficulty Starting the Car – A broken belt prevents the engine from functioning.

• High Mileage – Most manufacturers recommend replacing the cam belt between 60,000 and 100,000 miles.
